Any form of radar which detects motion relative to a reflecting surface by measuring the frequency shift of reflected radio energy due to the motion of the observer or of the reflecting surface.

CONT

Doppler radar provides the pilot or navigator with a continuous indication of the drift angle and ground speed of the aircraft.

CONT

Forecasting centers will get new computers, Doppler radar for more precise rainfall measurements, and interactive models designed to let forecasters explore a range of possible scenarios.

OBS

doppler radar: term and definition standardized by NATO.
